Getting brave

So...I took a day off from work last week and decided to get my hair cut. It's been soooo long since I've had a good haircut, plus I really wanted to get rid of my gray. (I know, you couldn't even tell I had gray before, huh.) Anyway, as I'm sitting in the chair looking at the color that the girl said would be good for me, I'm thinking and saying "It looks dark." But, she insists I should go with it. I'm feeling trusting and a little adventurous, so I say, "Ok." Afterall, I have never ever colored my hair. With the exception of some wash in coloring and I had it highlighted once 7 or so years ago.

Well, well, well an hour and a half later, my gray was definitely not showing -- My hair was definitely darker. I think my blond and gray hairs just sucked up the color, like a sponge. It was much darker than I thought even from the sample. Seemed a little shocking to me, but I actually did like the color. I just wasn't sure how I liked it on me.

I got home and Tyler said he liked it and liked it quite a bit. So, I think I can live with it. Both Katie and Kelsey also said they liked it. Actually, everyone at work (who dared to comment) said they liked it, too. And, the young women at my church and the other young women leaders also said they liked it. That's a lot of people saying they like it. So, what I've decided, since I still am not sure if I really like it on me, is that I figure either I look alright with the color or no one dares to tell me how they really feel. Either way I'm stuck with it for a while.

I'll try to make the next post more interesting. I just really needed to talk about his big change I made. Now I feel better. :) And, here's a picture of the color:
